The Trump administration moved on Tuesday to cancel planned shipments of weapons to Ukraine, setting off a wave of fury among national security commentators on social media.

"BREAKING: White House confirms it has halted weapons that Ukraine was scheduled to receive, including PAC3 Patriots, 155mm artillery rounds, GMLRS, Stinger, AIM-7, and Hellfire missiles," reported PBS Newshour's Nick Schifrin, who added that White House deputy press secretary Anny Kelly explained the move by saying, “This decision was made to put America’s interests first following a DOD review of our nation’s military support and assistance to other countries across the globe. The strength of the United States Armed Forces remains unquestioned — just ask Iran.”

Many commenters accused the White House of doing the bidding of Russia's Vladimir Putin, who has engaged in a yearslong invasion to try to bend Ukraine to his will; others attacked Elbridge Colby, the defense policy undersecretary who had a hand in the decision.

"The Trump administration is even stopping delivery of Patriots?" wrote former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul. "So disgusting and embarrassing as the 'leader of the free world.' I guess we are done with that.".....

"Trump works for Putin," wrote former Tea Party congressman turned Democrat Joe Walsh.

"So Trump gives Putin two weeks for ceasefire progress, Putin instead massively escalates, and our response is to halt weapons shipments to Ukraine. Incredible," wrote American Enterprise Institute media strategist Kareem Rifai.

Because of TACO the United States is now an ally of the, as Reagan called, "The Evil Empire". Great way to celebrate the 4th of July isn't it? I will refuse to celebrate the 4th as long as TACO in the White House.

Has betrayed everything so many have fought and worked for.

My family has serving in the military continuously since 1942, and this is an abomination, a complete surrender of our values and betrayal of the blood and sacrifice of our people over generations.

And, despite the great wringing of hands, no one will actually do anything.

He/they belongs in Gitmo.
